Last season after 11 games we were 5th in the table (having played Man United, Man City and Arsenal away) before a run of LDLDL which saw Hughton sacked.

 

This season after 11 games we were 3rd in the table (having played only Arsenal of the above; at home) before this run of LDLL.

 

If we don't beat Swansea and West Brom will Pardew be sacked?

If we don't win those games he should be sacked and Kinnear should come back in. Kinnear knows how to win on a cold Saturday afternoon in Newcastle.

If we drop into second half I would be worried he might get sacked, that was Ashley's minimum apparently (I remember at start of season and thought we'd never make it :| )

 

I hope we keep him for a few years, not going to pretend he's obviously a great manager, but do believe in patiently giving managers time to build squads. Would be nice to have Pardew for a while, his football style is good.

When Hughton hit that slump of LDLDL you mentioned, who did we lose to?

There'll be a minute's silence for him when he passes. :lol:

A minute shouting "Cunt" would be more appropriate, but I don't think his family would approve.

Probably all been said before, but AP was due a howler and this was it.  I accept his hands were tied a bit with the injuries, but he got it so wrong it was unreal.

 

Starting Shola, Perch and Simpson as centre backs, Obertan lasting for as long as he did, totally wasting all 3 subs.  Really was a poor day at the office.  No win in 4 now (granted 3 games against the SKY 4), with two supposedly winnable home games coming up.  Will be interesting to see how he reacts to all this.  A lot of injuries and confidence must be a bit dented.

 

Everyone knew we'd have a bit of an injury crisis and a mini slump in form, Pardew has to earn his money know and sort it out.  If we don't get 4-6 points from the next two games we're struggling, regardless of injuries.

I know he came back to defend set-pieces, but Shola was actually playing up front with Ba :)

Even if we lost the next two games, we'd be minimum 8th with 26pts from 17 games. Is that really a sign of a 'struggling' season?

Say we don't beat Swansea or WBA, we would be going into an away game with Bolton, with no win in 6, struggling with injuries and confidence at rock bottom.  ACN and the dreaded transfer window looming and so would back to back games against Liverpool and Man U. 

 

I would say we'd be struggling if we don't get 4 points as a minimum from the next two.
